Re: reconcile starting balance

[Derek Atkins]

Most likely the balance is off because previously reconciled transactions either got deleted or unreconciled.  The way to move forward is to ignore the starting balance and mark off all the current transactions and all the ones that should have already been reconciled but somehow got unmarked.  Another thing you should do is run Actions -> Reset Warnings because you probably told GnuCash to allow you to modify reconciled transactions without warnings.
Unfortunately this approach won't help if you actually deleted transactions or moved them to another account by accident.  If that happened you will need to go back in history to figure out what happened, or try going to your backup files.
Good luck.

An issue just came up where the reconcile Starting Balance isn't the
same as the Ending Balance from the month before.  I hope someone can
help me!

The most important question I have is how can I fix it?  I've never
had this problem before.

I have also noticed this year (I think since upgrading to the version
that comes with Ubuntu 12.04) that previously reconciled items, just a
few, are showing up as unreconciled.  These items could be from years
ago.

Thanks,

Phil
